I've already been through the gconf settings but didn't see anything.  I
did figure out, however, that checking 'Disable X agent encoding' in same
configuration group and screen where you select "Floating window" in the
NX client configuration lets the applications run without going
unresponsive/gray.

That setting did kinda nasty things with the fonts of the apps
running through NX, but I figured out that was due to the font subpixel
smoothing; changing the font rendering to "Best contrast" or "Best shapes"
resolved that.
